Cable Beach
A white sand beach stretching 22 kilometers, famous for camel trains silhouetted against the sunset over the Indian Ocean. It is Broome's most classic sunset spot.
The beach is named after the undersea telegraph cable linking Java that came ashore here in 1889. In the evening, several camel companies organize sunset rides (about 1 hour, booking required), or you can watch from the sunset bar beside the sand. Some sections of the north part allow vehicles to drive onto the beach. The dry season is good for swimming. From November to April, the wet season brings risks from box jellyfish and crocodiles, so only swim within the flagged patrol areas. The beach is about 6 kilometers from the town center, and buses run there.
